asked the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, in writing, on 20 October 2010:

In respect of the roll out of the Government's National Broadband Network in Tasmania, and a statement on National Broadband Network Tasmania's website that the: 'port on the [Network Termination Unit] into which an end user plugs their equipment is a standard Ethernet 10/100Base T interface': (1) does this reflect the interface that is actually being provided; (2) if so, how does this reconcile with the statements by this company and the Government that the network will provide speeds of up to one gigabyte per second, when the use of the interface described would limit speeds actually delivered into homes to no more than 100 megabytes per second.
